Pushing Daisies was a brilliant TV show, created and written by Bryan Fuller. Fuller’s genius has been unable to outlive his bad luck streak as his shows, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me and finally Daisies all saw a premature axing.
But last night during the Emmys, Fuller got the last laugh as his cancelled show earned a flattering four Awards.
io9.com quotes Fuller’s reaction:
It’s a tremendous honor to see ‘Daisies’ win in so many categories — and in the spirit of the show, win posthumously. Now can we please make the ‘Pushing Daisies’ movie?
Among the awards was Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy series for the infectiously sunny Kristin Chenoweth. Fuller is also responsible for Claire’s story arc in the first season of Heroes (the show coincidentally became less intriguing after he left the team)
I personally would LOVE to see Pushing Daisies reborn, but I will settle for a movie, provided that it continues the feel better than the Dead Like Me direct to video film.
